Those are great lenses for most of what you'll do. The 300mm is a bit short for a lot of wildlife so if that is a main objective you might consider renting or buying a Sigma 150-500.
Be sure to get a good quality polarizer. I believe you'll find that the same size polarizer fits both of those lenses.
Also you'll want a tripod and remote release. The 10-24 is a fabulous lens but at least mine doesn't have VR. Since you want high f-stop (f16 or higher) and low ISO for your landscapes your shutter speeds will be low.
Also if you expect to do waterfalls you might want one or more neutral density filters so you can slow the shutter speed to 1/13 s or slower.
The bear I posted above was with the Sigma. Here's another couple of critters.

Thanks for sharing MtnMan, I am intrigued by the eagle photo shot. Can you tell me what what you used to get this?
Babysitter11, I believe the lake picture MtnMan posted is of Peyto Lake in Banff National Park along the Icefields Parkway in Canada. It is quite unique in its shape as photographed. I have been there and my friend has a pastel painting of it hanging over her fireplace. :wink:

The Eagle is in Homer, Alaska.
I hate to admit this but he is standing on a dumpster filled with fish remains...which is why I don't show the talons.
I had to crouch down to get an angle that included the mountains in the background...and back up with the lens I was using. The Eagles were much more interested in the fish parts than the people standing around.
